Lectionary Theme: Holy Qurbana: Table of Reconciliation Thirteenth Sunday after the Feast of Pentecost

  •   

    3. Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, “All the words that the Lord has spoken we will do.”

    4. And Moses wrote down all the words of the Lord. He rose early in the morning, and built an altar at the foot of the mountain, and set up twelve pillars, corresponding to the twelve tribes of Israel.

    5. He sent young men of the people of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed oxen as offerings of well-being to the Lord.

    6. Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he dashed against the altar.

    7. Then he took the book of the covenant, and read it in the hearing of the people; and they said, “All that the Lord has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient.”

    8. Moses took the blood and dashed it on the people, and said, “See the blood of the covenant that the Lord has made with you in accordance with all these words.” On the Mountain with God

    9. Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up,

    10. and they saw the God of Israel. Under his feet there was something like a pavement of sapphire stone, like the very heaven for clearness.

    11. God did not lay his hand on the chief men of the people of Israel; also they beheld God, and they ate and drank.

  •   

    11. Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we try to persuade others; but we ourselves are well known to God, and I hope that we are also well known to your consciences.

    12. We are not commending ourselves to you again, but giving you an opportunity to boast about us, so that you may be able to answer those who boast in outward appearance and not in the heart.

    13. For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you.

    14. For the love of Christ urges us on, because we are convinced that one has died for all; therefore all have died.

    15. And he died for all, so that those who live might live no longer for themselves, but for him who died and was raised for them.

    16. From now on, therefore, we regard no one from a human point of view; even though we once knew Christ from a human point of view, we know him no longer in that way.

    17. So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new!

    18. All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation;

    19. that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting the message of reconciliation to us.

    20. So we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us; we entreat you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

    21. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

  •   

    14. Therefore, my dear friends, flee from the worship of idols.

    15. I speak as to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say.

    16. The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a sharing in the body of Christ?

    17. Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.

    18. Consider the people of Israel; are not those who eat the sacrifices partners in the altar?

    19. What do I imply then? That food sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?

    20. No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be partners with demons.

    21. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons.

    22. Or are we provoking the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he? Do All to the Glory of God

  •   

    23. So when you are offering your gift at the altar, if you remember that your brother or sister has something against you,

    24. leave your gift there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother or sister, and then come and offer your gift.

    25. Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are on the way to court with him, or your accuser may hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you will be thrown into prison.

    26. Truly I tell you, you will never get out until you have paid the last penny. Concerning Adultery
